Collision. no accident | says hang glider | By DONNA VALLIERES * Herald staff writer. A .hang-gliding accident outside Terrace which sent one glider pilot to hospital last week may have been the result of carelessness on the _part of the two pilots in- volved. . . Dave Toop, a local gliding instructor who was at the scene of the mishap, said the gliders were flying too close together and existing air conditions caused the mid- air collision. Ed Morris, a 26 year old logger, suffered a broken ankle, four broken ribs and a broken jaw after his craft collided with another glider flown by Cat. Randy Cur- tain, 21, of the. Terrace RCMP. Morris is still in Mills Memorial Hospital. “] feel there was a little neglect on both parts,”’ Toop said. He said the two were - eloge enough to talk to each other before they collided about 3,000 fett above the landing site and 300 feet from the nearest mountain surface. Toop said hang-glider accidents are extremely rare and there bas been only one other accident of this type to have occurred anywhere in Canada since the sport began. Pilots do not need a license to fly the winged crafts, but there are training courses available to teach them = safety precautions, “All we can do is suggest that people take these training courses,'’ Toop said. ; The gliding instructor, a member of the Skeena Hangliders Association, said he is. hoping a rating & system will be set.up for Thornhill Mountain, the take-off point for local gliders, .meaning _ that gliders using the site should have a certified rating. “It’s the only way we can enforce people to fly properly,” he said, although he admitted even then unauthorized gliders could not be stopped. ‘The two pilots involved in the accident were also members of the local club. Curtain, who escaped injuries, stated both he and Morris have about 30 hours flying time in gliders launched off Thornhill Mountain. Dave Neil, a civil aviation inspector with the Ministryof Transport in Vancouver, said he doesn not know if this particular accident will be in- vestigated, although if serious injury or death had occurred they would do so. Neil said he was surprised that two gliders were in the same air space. “They're supposed to be looking out for each other," : he said. Neil said the hang-gliders are a self-regulating body although the ministry of transport.does recognize them as aircraft. ‘The MOT does control all air space, though, and Neil stated that the airways department is reviewing its ‘policy on hangliders.

But even then, it wasn’t the size that really gave the Marine Building its unique character.

What’s “Art Deco’? It was a style of decoration prevalent in the 1920's and 1930's that was very ornate, intricate and beautiful. It's characterized by zig-zag and geometric ornament. The Marine Building has it in abundance. It was called the Marine Building because of the type of businesses located there: trades invaiving shipping. The intent of the building’s design was to compliment merchant traders! ie sea motif is everywhere. te building's entire length is covered by a wave of seahorses and marine life. By the imposing entrance archway, a gargoyle-like ornamentation depicts the bow ofa ship, the face on the prow reminding us, perhaps, of the sea’s relentlessness. The sculpture of the upper arch shows marine plant life while at the sides are mural panels of famous sailing ships that came to British Columbia's coast: Drake's Golden Hind in 1577; Quadra’s Sonora in 1775; Cook's Resolution in 1778; and finally and inevitably, Vancouver's Discovery. On the right hand side is depicted the Empress of Japan, the Canadian Pacific liner, which for many years plied her way across the Pacific to the Orient. ‘These panels, on their own, are a_ lasting monument to Vancouver, the harbour city. ; The massive entrance shows the sun.setting.in the west with.a ship entering the harbour in the foreground, symbolic of Vancouver's role as “gateway to the orient”.
